It’s getting pretty POPULAR up here.

Characters: Alan Rees, Anthony McHenry, David Walkerton, Dina Sarazu, Grace Svenson, Mandy Kowalski, Mike Warner, Ruth Lesse
Location: I See Dead People
I guess that “naturally born” bit from Alan answers my question from earlier as to why Walky’s mom couldn’t do this. Welp!
I like this scene. Some folks were mad upon seeing folks like Dina and Ruth again, feeling like it took away from their deaths. Me, I think it feels more like the bow at the end of a play, when the cast comes out at the end and you get to see everyone one more time. Plus, you know, everything’s pretty grim right now, okay? It’s nice to take a little pressure out of it.
The thing is, though, if Dina’s up here, it means she can’t be down in…..
Loading ...
“If Dina’s up here, it means she can’t be down in…”
Sure it can. Reflected bouncing brainwaves are in this limbo that strangely contains ONLY people that Walky knows, while the actual souls go on to….
… uh, why does everyone have torches and pitchforks all of a sudden?
because insulting someone’s faith is never funny…and is really old.
What? How?
Wow, this probably says something about me…I’m not sure what, but I am sure it isn’t complimentary…I swear, I honestly didn’t get what Willis was driving at with “She can’t be down in…” until I read Reltzik’s comment.
So Sal can do this too, I guess.
Boy that would have been a nasty surprise if they actually managed to off her while she was in angry rampage mode.
Truth be told, I always took this to be some kind of projection that Walky’s mind came up with in order to cope with his body “dying”, rather than suggesting that the Walkyverse has an afterlife- although to say too much more would be spoilers.
But how would he have known about Mike’s death?
It also works as a handwave for how Martian Resurrection Chambers work. ‘DNA’ doesn’t suffice.
Yeah, I thought from what Dina said earlier in this scene that these were like scans of the minds being picked up (somehow akin to radio signals) by the Martian technology.
Basically what I thought the first time I read this series.
My idea was that “souls” go back I to the Lifestream (or whatever they call it in FF7), so until their souls get pulled back through reincarnation, they’re hanging around getting mixed up in the other souls, sort of like a ballpit
Don’t see the big deal about conversing amount ghost.
I misread Dina’s line as saying WALKY was “the Canadian anomaly.”
“He’s part human, part martian, part canadian. He is the chosen one.”
Does this mean Canadians are not human?
You really didn’t know that? I thought it was pretty obvious they were an advanced race of super humans. Homo Sapien Novus, if you will.
they play the meek, friendly neighbor act well…but there’s a lot of open space to hide ships and troops for the inevitable Canadian invasion of Earth!
Homo Sapien Apologus.
Also stated by Walky, they are communists.
…Batman ended up doing the exact same thing four years later, so it’s a warning to heed.
Also, Willis doing a Batman thing years before Batman did it is about as tops as you can get!
I know that’s Alan in the lower left hand corner of that 2nd panel,
but my brain insists it’s a continuation of Dina from panel 1
It’s a nice detail that even in this moment of relative closure on Walky and Dina, Dina is way, WAY more upset to see Mike dead than she was to see Walky.
alan is definitely my favorite character
